I have posted this before from Clara Nelson, it slipped by me yesterday until I saw Dave Fjeld posted it in his column in the Windom Citizen! I just talked to Clara this week, Windom’s prayer warrior, and she said she just loves listening to the “House of Hope” Sunday mornings on KDOM Radio at 7:45am Sunday! We adore Clara
, she prays constantly for others. We also pray for her! Here is Clara’s poem:
I Love America
by Clara Nelson
America is great when we worship
God.
America is great when we read
God’s word.
We remember the many people
before us, who made our country
great.
Even today, the sacrifices we make.
I love America, this is my country,
this is my home.
In the woods and wilderness I see
the mighty works of God.
The green grass and beautiful trees,
The blue sky and fluffy white
clouds,
The lakes and rivers and streams.
I love America, this is my country,
this is my home.
We remember what has made
America great,
Our forefathers worshiped God.
They read God’s word and prayed.
Before we were born, they prayed
for us,
As a nation to be strong in the Lord.
I love America, this is my country,
this is my home.
Now it is up to you and me
To keep our nation free.
Many before us set the pattern
And showed us what to do.
Obey God’s word and daily pray,
too.
I love America, this is my country,
this is my home.
